~Jada
I couldn’t move.
In sheer shock, I’m left staring at Alpha Kael’s unconscious body slumped backward on the couch. His eyes are rolled back, his mouth parted, hopefully still taking in air. I’m unsure what to do, my entire body shaking in pure fear. What just happened? Is he still alive? I can see his chest moving slightly, but I’m not sure how long that is going to last.
Standing up, my legs feel as if they are going to collapse at any moment. If someone walks in, they are going to see my Alpha, looking as if I’ve injured him myself. A Silent would surely kill me in this moment.

~KaelIn a few moments, I was at the mercy of an Immortal.We were always warned never to make a deal with an Immortal. But in this case, I had no other choice. It would either be Kael finds out about what happened, or I forever become in debt to Sinful. Either way, both may end in death, so I chose the latter, which might have me around longer than the former.A few days have passed since then, and I haven’t heard anything. I haven’t even heard from Jake, who promised he would reconvene with me about the information he found by the end of the week.

~JadaI’m terrified of where this is going to lead.Kael doesn’t turn back to look at me, simply leading me away and out of the gym. I stare at his back, wishing I could turn and run away from the situation I’m being lead into. I’m afraid he’s going to drag me into a dark room and force me to admit to sneaking into his room a few nights ago.Each muscle under his shirt seems to shift and move under his reasonably tight shirt, like some kind of taunt.I don’t know what we are doing, all I know, is I have to get through it.

~JadaI’m mortified.There’s a smile on Kael’s face, but it’s subtle. I’m ashamed the answer came out like that, as a lie. Within the depths of me, I knew the answer would come out as a lie, however, I was hoping it wouldn’t come through. This is quite the technology. I bet Alpha Alden of the Wisdom Pack is proud of this one.“Ask another question,” I say quickly, staring down at my knuckles rather than Kael’s face. I can feel his eyes looking down at me, waiting for the reaction that he is looking for. Little does he know he won’t get it. “Actually, ask that question again.”

~JadaCruel.Cruel was the first word that came to mind once those words left his mouth. Initially, there was no way I was about to believe him. As far as I was aware, we aren’t even halfway through competition, so with him saying that, I assumed immediately this is some kind of test to gauge my reaction.As serious as Kael is, I wouldn’t put it past him to use this as a test against us all. Swallowing uncomfortably, I lean back in my chair, refusing to look affected by this. I can’t believe him, and I won’t believe him.When I

~JadaI don’t like the idea of being alone with Blue.With Kael gone, quiet has fallen over the group. The look in Blue’s eyes is so intense, I have to look anywhere but him. Out of all these Silent’s, it’s surprisingly the one I know who frightens me the most. Now that Kael has left, most of them turn to each other to mutter under their breath, whereas Blue concentrates on only me.“Come outside with me,” Blue says in a way that is less of an offering and more of a demand. I bristle, however, I don’t react with anything other than a nod. “I want to test your skills to see what we have to work with.”

~JadaI took me a moment to process that.Here for me? That doesn’t make any sense. I mean, Blue looks familiar, but I know for a fact I don’t have any surviving family. No one has reached out to me since, and no one has expressed any care for my position. So staring at Blue, hearing him say that to me fills me with a strange sense of anger.He seems to notice my expression morphing to personify my emotions, jumping to explain himself further. “It might not make sense now, but there’s little I can say. If anyone hears, we might both get in trouble.”

~JadaThe night came by quickly.Kael went back to his own manor, leaving us in temporary housing for the night before we would be shipped off elsewhere in the morning. Ace and I returned to our rooms after we were fed dinner in the Silent’s building which had once been where the trainers resided. It was beyond awkward sitting with them all.They talked between themselves about things I wasn’t clued in on. Ace kept to himself on the other end of the table and I did the same. I kept my head down, eating my dinner quickly before running back to my room.

~JadaI didn’t have time to question my dreams the next day.A Silent whose name I don’t know knocked on my door and demanded I get up and met everyone on the front field. I barely had time to get myself together, throw my hair into a ponytail before I grabbed my things and left. Once I closed the door to my room, I realise this is the last time I’ll be here. The last time I’ll know what is coming next.I didn’t see Ace on my way there, which is a small mercy. Now I’m assuming he’s going to try stay far away from me after I tried to find out more about his past. I’m going to take a step back now.
